Nvidia Announces New GeForce Game Bundles with Select GPUs

Score Daylight or $150 of in-game currency

Winter is almost over, though depending on where you live (like the midwest), you might not know it by the amount of snow that sits unmelted outside. Nevertheless, Nvidia is ready to welcome the spring season by offering two fresh game bundles with the purchase of select GeForce GTX desktop graphics cards and GeForce GTX-powered laptops. One of the freebie offerings is a downloadable code for Daylight, the first game built around the Unreal Engine 4.

To qualify for Daylight, you'll need to purchase a qualifying GPU, among which are the GeForce GTX Titan, 780 Ti, 780, 770, 760, 690, 680, 670, 660 Ti, and 650. If you pick one up from a participating vendor, you'll receive a redemption code, which you can activate beginning April 8, 2014 (the day the game launches).

Nvidia's other bundle is $150 ($50 per title) of of in-game currency for three free-to-play games: Warface, Heroes of Newerth, and Path of Exile. The in-game bounty will be given to gamers who purchase a GeForce GTX 650, 650 Ti, 750, or 750 Ti graphics card, or select GTX 700M/800M-based notebooks.

That one purpose really isn't a true measure of a successful product. They have one subset of a fringe group buying up one line of their product, but they are really not setting the word on fire, or they wouldn't need to keep selling off assets.

but what happens now that bitcoin isn't as trusted thaks to mt gox, and when it becomes too difficult to gpu mine?

The point I'm making is that it's not their intended purpose and it's a short sighted success. It's not sustainable if they can't get their credibility back in the Graphics (not mining) market, they need to decide if they are appealing to the enthusiast or budget market I think and try to lock up that market.

It's sort of like when they used to be the go to CPU maker for a lot of people because you could overclock them a little and they were worlds cheaper than intel, then the core2 duo and its super overclockability came out and they've been playing catch up ever since.

I would like to see AMD try to regain the budget space, because I much preferred them to intel back in the athlon days, but I think they lost their focus.
